    thought you'd finished AQAing for a bit BB

    Sammy - I wish. It makes up nearly half of my income still. Office job pays £550 a month after tax, I get £100 WTC, around £100 for teaching after tax and then I need to do around £400-£500 a month on AQA (before tax) for the mortgage/bills and food to be covered.

    I'm worrying about the tax implications when they happen :rolleyes: but next year I'll be paying this year's tax through my PAYE so I'll be £60 a month worse off from April.


    I got that France text as well yesterday - but from GingerSte. I sent a text back saying 'wow - is it for work? You'd better stay in touch, because we'll want a DFW meet in France'

    He said 'scroll down'...


    :doh:

    I sent a text back: well, you can booger off to France for real then after that!! :p

    Oh, but I did get a long and rambling economics of the world text from Len around 3am!
    :D"Stay Wonky":D
